Vanessa Nawka Leschke – Artist & Designer

Born in 1982, Vanessa studied Visual Communication with minors in Painting and Sculpture at Pforzheim University. Her work is deeply rooted in transformation, intuition, and the fusion of traditional techniques with digital technology.

Artistic Approach:

Vanessa sees art as a form of metamorphosis. Her creative process begins with hand-drawn fineliner illustrations—ranging from abstract figures to plants and imaginary birds—which she transforms into vibrant, large-scale digital artworks.
She draws color inspiration from photos of Hydra Island in Greece, which lend her pieces a unique and dynamic palette.

She also creates watercolor drawings, which serve as the foundation for her digital sculptures. These are brought to life using an iPad and modeled in Blender, a 3D software, where she animates them and places them in imaginative, digital landscapes.
